Where I Still Need To Go

Here you will find all the hotels/hostels/homestays that I've stayed at around the world. My recommendations are honest, so I only listed those that I really liked and would stay at again. You can find them for each country in an alphabetical order to make searching easier for you and recommendations are everything from low-budget to 5 star hotels. As I'm always travelling, I will keep adding new places to this list. Please note: Creating these guides takes up quite some time so if you like one of my recommended accommodations, it would really help me if you'd book through my link as I'll receive a small commission. The price will stay the same for you, it only helps me to be able to provide more free content in the future. So it's a win-win for both of us and I'd be very grateful for your support!🙂

In this guide, I'll share with you all the budget hostels I stayed at around the world and my honest opinion about them. Most of my travels I did as a solo female traveller. And hostels were often the best option - cheap, safe, great places to meet another traveller. 📍Albania 📍Belgium 📍Bosnia and Herzegovina 📍Cape Verde 📍Croatia 📍Denmark 📍Finland 📍Germany 📍Iceland 📍Ireland 📍Latvia 📍Lithuania 📍Montenegro 📍North Macedonia 📍Poland 📍Portugal 📍Serbia 📍Slovakia 📍Spain 📍Turkey 📍United States

We flew in late Friday night, explored all day Saturday, then Sunday was a day of indoor play for the boys.

Hotel websites provide limited information and naturally act as a promotional vehicle for the hotel property. Pieces of information materially impacting hotel selection decisions such as surrounding construction work, upcoming hotel renovations, neighbouring businesses, proximity to downtown, safety (just to name a few) are for the most part not disclosed to the general public. Nasty surprises can arise without proper research. This is a comprehensive 30 question list to ask of hotels as part of your trip planning. Presented in email template form, you will gain a full picture into the hotel's location, facility, and room offering. ***LIVE GUIDE*** Additional content will sync free of charge.
